If you can defeat it, you can collect special technologies from its corpse. The signal pulse burns out the transmitter, so this building can only be used once.

A '''mechband antenna''' is a [[building]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that allows a [[mechanitor]] to summon the [[war queen]].

Mechband antennae can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each requires {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

A mechband antenna can be activated by a [[mechanitor]] to summon the hostile [[war queen]]. This destroys the antenna, turning it to [[steel slag chunk]]s.
A mechband antenna can be activated by a [[mechanitor]] to summon the hostile [[war queen]], which will drop a [[powerfocus chip]] when defeated. This destroys the antenna, turning it into 2-4 [[steel slag chunk]]s.
 
  
It cannot be used in the time between another mechanoid boss being summoned and that boss arriving. In addition, there is a 2 day cooldown between summoning any mech boss, regardless of when the mechs actually arrive.

=== Summoning ===
 
Each time an antenna is activated, the number of mechanoids escorting the war queen increases.{{Check Tag|Detail|reason=Per colony map or world wide?}}
 
# 1x War queen with heavy shield unit, 5x [[pikeman]], 2x [[scyther]]
 
# 1x War queen with heavy shield unit, 7x [[militor]], 2x [[centipede]] (burner)
 
# 1x War queen with heavy shield unit, 5x [[pikeman]], 2x [[tesseron]], 3x [[Tunneler (Mechanoid)|tunneler]]
 
# 2x War queen with heavy shield unit, 8x [[militor]], 4x [[lancer]], 2x [[centipede]] (burner)
 
# 2x War queen with heavy shield unit, 5x [[pikeman]], 5x [[lancer]], 3x [[legionary]], 3x [[centipede]] (burner)
 
# 2x War queen with heavy shield unit, 14x [[scyther]], 4x [[centipede]] (burner), 1x [[centurion]]
 
# 2x War queen with heavy shield unit, 8x [[centipede]] (burner), 18x [[scorcher]]
 
# 3x War queen with heavy shield unit, 6x [[scyther]], 6x [[lancer]], 3x [[legionary]], 8x [[centipede]] (burner), 1x [[centurion]]
 
 
 
Like the other mechanoid bosses, after being summoned 8 times, the next summon will be the same as wave 3. The wave count is per playthrough, not per colony or map.{{Check Tag|Archonexus?|Confirm the wave count doesn't reset after archonexus transfer}} If the war queen is summoned once on one map, summoning another on a second map will bring the second wave.
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
{{Main|War queen#Analysis}}
 
Build a mechband antenna when you are ready to fight the [[war queen]].
 
 
 
In terms of actual cost, the war queen arrives with 600 steel worth of [[war urchin]]s, its allies can also be shredded, and the antenna itself drops a few [[steel slag chunk]]s to smelt. This results in the antenna being a complete positive in resources once [[Research#Fabrication|Fabrication]] is available. Even when you can't fabricate components, the cost of an antenna is quite small for what a powerfocus chip and its research gets you.
